Parent, Russell Hoye, Marijke Taks, Ashley Thompson, Michael L. Naraine, Erik L. Lachance & Benoit Séguin (open access).
Do we need another collection of sociology of sport articles? Our reviewer thinks so.
The Oxford Handbook of Sport and Society, edited by Lawrence A, Wenner (Oxford UP), features leading international scholars’ assessments of scholarly inquiry about sport and society. Divided into six sections, chapters consider dominant issues within key areas, approaches featured in inquiry, and debates needing resolution. Our reviewer is Richards Giulianotti, who edited the Sage four volume set The Sociology of Sport in 2012, and he finds that this new collection, some unnecessary omissions notwithstanding, is a welcome addition to the existing list of handbooks in the field.
